DIAEURO

The initiators and organizers of the Football Championship for people with diabetes was the Ukrainian Diabetic Federation. DIAEURO is a unique social project that aims to raise awareness of the global problem of diabetes in Ukraine and worldwide! The idea of competition among people with diabetes is to show that this disease does not put an end to the sporting life, the dreams of those living with diabetes.

 Physical activity is a key element in the prevention and management of diabetes. High-quality studies establishing the importance of exercise and fitness in diabetes were lacking until recently, but it is now well established that participation in regular physical exercises improves blood glucose control and can prevent or delay diabetes, along with positively affecting lipids, blood pressure, cardiovascular events, mortality, and quality of life.Many people with diabetes still do not know if they can go in for sport and enjoy their sports life as they usually did…
